Road Safety Week

This morning, the School Council hosted a very important assembly linking Road Safety and Physical Activity.  We had some special visitors (County Councilor Turner and Suzi – a representative from Safe & Healthy Travel) to launch a brand new scheme in Lancashire promoting parking away from the school within 5 and 10 minute ‘WalkZones’ and walking your child to school.  The councilors explained the dangers with cars driving in and around school drop off points with yellow zigs zags but also how a 5 minute walk can promote a healthy chat with parents and carers benefiting speech and language.  The children watched a humorous video that also explained from children’s perspective how daunting and dangerous school zones can be when over congested with traffic.  Please take the time to view the link with your child again!

A special thanks to the School Councilors for leading this scheme within our school and hopefully it will make the desired impact!

Mr D. Farry

Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
